A fraction like 15/398 can show up when 15 people out of a group of 398 respond to a survey, experience an issue, or qualify for something. That is about 3.77%, so it represents a small share of the whole.

To picture it quickly, imagine 100 people standing in a crowd: this fraction is a little fewer than 4 of them. You can also think of it as roughly 1 out of every 26 or 27 people.

A common mistake is to treat 15/398 as if it were 15%, because the numerator is 15. The denominator matters just as much, and since 398 is much larger than 100, the actual percentage is far smaller.
